Just call it DeJesus Day

Sunday was quite the day for the DeJesus family. David was playing in Game 162 for the Rays for the chance to keep alive the hope of making the playoffs for the first time in his 11-year career. And his wife, Kim,was hosting friends at their home in Chicago for the Sunday night premiere of CBS's The Amazing Race, in which she is competing this season. "Does it get any better than this?" David DeJesus said. "DeJesus household is on fire today."
